Synaptics announced its Natural ID FS9100 family of optical-based, under-glass fingerprint authentication solutions have been named a CES 2018 Innovation Awards Honoree.
Synaptics’ Natural ID FS9100 family is the industry’s first optical-based fingerprint sensors for smartphones, enabling high-performance secure authentication through 1mm thick cover glass. By utilizing optical fingerprint technology with smartphones, OEMs can eliminate home buttons and extend displays to the edges or significantly reduce bezels. Synaptics is currently sampling its third-generation optical solution for in-display fingerprint authentication to select customers with mass production with a Tier 1 OEM expected in the current calendar year.
“Consumers prefer fingerprint authentication on the front of smartphones, and with the trend toward extra-long and borderless infinity displays, optical sensors in the display area are the way forward.
The CES Innovation Awards are sponsored by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), the producer of CES 2018. Synaptics will showcase its human interface portfolio at its private suite during CES 2018. CES will be taking place Jan. 9–12, 2108 in Las Vegas, NV.
